  • I find it hard to get the right word. I didn’t really like lesser because there’s a big implication in the UK that you’re a failure if you didn’t go to university and I think that’s total bullshit.

    Although you obviously can’t get a doctorate or a masters at a college there’s loads of worth while courses that can arguably translate much easier to workplace positions.

    There’s no point in getting a doctorate in english literature and then having to go work in Starbucks because there’s no jobs available in your field. Whereas you could study something like a national certificate in electrical engineering and have your pick of jobs/apprenticeships at the end of the course.




  • I’ll boycott companies.

    Something being technically legal doesn’t necessarily make it moral or OK and whilst I absolutely agree that laws and regulations should be in place to prevent horrible behaviour, it’s not reasonable to expect this in every case.

    I’ll absolutely make a decision to withdraw my custom if I don’t agree that a company is acting appropriately, it’s the only power you have as a consumer and the only thing companies care about is getting your money.
